Fedora16 adds and modifies the background image and font color for grub2

After the Fedora16LiveCD is installed on the hard disk in Windows 7, restart the computer and enter the grub2 boot interface. The black background is always unpleasant. I always want to add a background image for grub2 in Fedora16, therefore, I searched a lot of information on the Internet and did not solve the problem well. Finally, I thought of Ubuntu. Since it belongs to the same linux, there should be the same place. So I tried to make some modifications by referring to the "grub2 Chinese Guide" of Ubuntu, put the gfxterm font file in/usr

After the Fedora 16 LiveCD is installed on the hard disk in Windows 7, restart the computer and enter the grub2 boot interface. The black background is always unpleasant. I always want to add a background image for grub2 in Fedora 16, therefore, I searched a lot of information on the Internet and did not solve the problem well. Finally, I thought of Ubuntu. Since it belongs to the same linux, there should be the same place. So I tried to make some modifications by referring to the "grub2 Chinese Guide" of Ubuntu, when you put the gfxterm font file in/usr/share/grub and run the reboot command, you can see the background image of grub2 ......!

Add the following at the end of/etc/default/grub:

GRUB_BACKGROUND =/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png

GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT = gfxterm

GRUB_THEME =/boot/grub2/mytheme/theme.txt

Then run the grub2-mkconfig command, may prompt not find the font file, I directly copy the ubuntu font file directly, path:/usr/share/grub inside, simply put. pf2 font file and. h files are all copied. Because fedora does not have the/usr/share/grub directory, you need to create a/usr/share/grub directory by yourself, then put the font files and scripts in it. Ubuntu/etc/grub is found. d/directory contains/etc/grub. d/05_debian_theme and/etc/grub. d/06_ubuntu_theme also copies a copy to fedora's/etc/grub. d/and rename it to/etc/grub. d/05_RedHat_theme and/etc/grub. d/06_fedora_theme and change the content to fedora. Basically, there is no need to modify it. I only modified one, that is, I changed ubuntu to fedora,

Then run the command grub2-mkconfig to see if there are more out 05_redhat_theme and 06_fedora_theme these two items, if there is, there is no need to modify grub. cfg. If not, modify grub. cfg. the contents of 05_debian_theme and 06_ubuntu_theme in cfg are all copied to grub of fedora. cfg save and exit.

Grub background images in Ubuntu are generally stored in the/usr/share/image/desktop-base/directory, the default is usually/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png, sometimes/image/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png may not be found in/usr/share/(I installed ubuntu11.10 liveCD is not ), create a/usr/share/images/desktop-base/directory by yourself:

Mkdir/usr/share/images/

Mkdir/usr/share/images/desktop-base

Then find a favorite image and rename it to: desktop-grub.png

Mv xxx desktop-grub.png

Then run the command: grub2-mkconfig

Finally run the command: grub2-mkconfig-o/boot/grub2/grub. cfg to refresh the configuration file;

After restarting the computer, you can see that the grub background is your favorite background image www.linuxidc.com.

Grub2 change the background image:

Modify/etc/grub. d/05_redhat_theme, find this line: if set_background_image "/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png" then, replace the quotation marks with the path of the directory of the image you want to change.

In this way, Grub will:

Find the file with the suffix png under the path of the directory of the image you want to change.

NOTE: If your image is in jpg format, you only need to add a jpg image after the suffix.

Grub2-mkconfig

Grub2-mkconfig-o/boot/grub2/grub. cfg

In this way, you can see it after the restart.

If you want to modify the image resolution, the ratio is 1334x768, then modify/etc/default/grub:

GRUB_GFXMODE = 1334x768 remove the # number in front of it. If it is not removed, it is the default value.

Change font color:

Modify/etc/grub. d/05_redhat_theme and 06_fedora_theme to modify the following two rows.

Color_normal = green/black

Color_highlight = white/black

Note:

Set color_normal = green/black green indicates the font color/black indicates the background color

Set color_highlight = white/black white is the selected color/black is the background color

Here, the background color must be black (black is translated as black, and black is actually transparent),/the Front color can be changed to your favorite color.

Then grub2-mkconfig

Grub2-mkconfig-o/boot/grub2/grub. cfg

Sudo reboot

After restarting the computer, you can see the effect.
